Priest (2011)

Priest Synopsis

PRIEST, a post-apocalyptic sci fi thriller, is set in an alternate world -- one ravaged by centuries of war between man and vampires. The story revolves around a legendary Warrior Priest (Paul Bettany) from the last Vampire War who now lives in obscurity among the other downtrodden human inhabitants in walled-in dystopian cities ruled by the Church. When his niece (Lily Collins) is abducted by a murderous pack of vampires, Priest breaks his sacred vows to venture out on an obsessive quest to find her before they turn her into one of them. He is joined on his crusade by his niece’s boyfriend (Cam Gigandet), a trigger-fingered young wasteland sheriff, and a former Warrior Priestess (Maggie Q) who possesses otherworldly fighting skills.

Do you like films with strong female leads? Do you like to watch "the fairer sex" prove that they’re not as fair as society has often portrayed them? Then you’ll get a kick out of this supercut tribute to women in prominent action movie roles…literally.

After dominating the box office last weekend comic book hero flick Thor remained at the top of the heap, hammering its way past the $100 million mark. With $119 million banked in its first ten days it helped to bring this year's slumping sales performance up a bit, but even with the decent showing from the rest of this weekend's new entries the box office isn't out of the woods yet.

It’s that day to celebrate those women who gave you life by performing the life-sized equivalent of pushing a grapefruit out the top of a Snapple bottle! If that doesn’t deserve its own holiday, I don’t know what does. So in honor of all the moms out there, lets take a look at what This Rotten Week has to offer.

When crafting a movie trailer, the idea is to provide wide audiences with a better sense of the entire movie condensed down to two-and-a-half minutes. For a movie like Priest, this is usually accomplished by splicing scenes together in a montage format- action scene here, cool line of dialogue there, big explosion and title card. The new trailer for the comic book adaptation, however, takes a different tact.

Priest is set to come out on May 13th, but unlike many summer action films set to be released after it that have been getting plenty of build-up, such as Captain America: The First Avenger, X-Men: First Class and Cars 2, the buzz and marketing have been practically non-existent (for reference it's been nearly two months since the Super Bowl, the last time we heard anything about it).

Usually when an international trailer is released we wind up seeing some extra footage that for some reason wasn’t shown to American audiences, but the opposite is happening with new trailer for Priest

With the San Diego Comic Con starting up next week, studios have already been doing their best to get us ready. First their was the release of the Green Lantern photos, then came the newest Thor image,

You probably don't know who Madchen Amick is if you weren't a fan of the early 90s TV series Twin Peaks, in which Amick played the abused and scheming waitress Shelly. But if you did watch that show-- and if you haven't, you really should-- you can rejoice!

Suddenly watching Karl Uban outside of anything Star Trek seems wrong. He so perfectly embodied the character of Doctor McCoy that I find myself revolted at the thought of watching him play anyone else. It almost feels disloyal

When you're a priest hunting vampires in the Old West, you're probably not going to look like a normal guy. But the first image of Paul Bettany in Scott Stewart's Priest has hit the movie's official site, and man, Bettany has never looked stranger.

Any manga experts want to help me figure out what on earth is going on here, and what character Gigandet is even playing? An can I keep my hopes about the Searchers reference alive? I need guidance here

Cam Gigandet is apparently a guy who knows a meal ticket when he sees one. He was the head of the villanous crew of bloodsuckers in Twilight, but that's not enough vampire action for the former O.C. actor. He'll star opposite Paul Bettany in Priest
